Elsewhere during the skit, Adele also channelled her inner Ginger Spice as she perfectly covered Wannabe.

The star admitted to being a massive fan of the Spice Girls growing up and couldn't resist a brilliant singalong to one of their smash hits during Carpool Karaoke with James Corden.

Before launching into a rendition of the 90s pop tune Adele explained how the girl group had been a "really important" part of her life.

"This isn't a p*sstake, this was genuinely a really big thing," she told chat show host James. "It was a huge moment in my life when they came out."

"It was girl power and there were these five ordinary girls who just did so well. It was a really important time in my life, that."

Asked if she ever held dedicated Spice Girls parties, she admitted: "Yeah, on my own.

She continued: "On my 10th birthday there were five of us and we were all Spice Girls. I was always Geri."

Recalling the moment Geri left the group in 1998, she added: "That was the first time I was truly heartbroken."

"Is that what [heartbreak hit] Someone Like You is about?" cheeky James asked, laughing.

Adele's singalong was part of a 15-minute segment on The Late Late Show and also features the 27-year-old talking about how she embarrassed herself after getting drunk over Christmas, and how she's bezzies with Beyonce - not to mention a brilliant rap rendition of Nick Minaj's 'Monster'.

After the clip was released Ginger Spice aka Geri Horner sent her a message on Twitter to say: "Ahh @Adele we love you," with a heart emoji.
